Which? campaigning for product safety

Deep-fat fryers vs air fryers

Deep-fat fryers have gained a negative reputation in recent years, with fears over oil fires and the health implications of greasy foods contributing to their decline in popularity.

However, newer models tend to be a much safer bet than deep-fat fryers of the past and are great for creating authentic crispy food. Our advice on how to buy the best fryer to help you to spend your money wisely.

But is an air fryer a better choice? Perceived as healthier, safer and less fiddly than deep-fat models, air fryers are now a popular choice for making chips at home.

Instead of submerging ingredients in oil, air fryers only use a tiny amount and circulate hot air to cook crispy, but not greasy, food. Our Best Buy air fryers round up the models that perform exceptionally in our tough testing.

Supermarket brands have also got in on the act of creating budget air fryers – Lidl has launched its own-brand Silvercrest air fryer. Our experts tried this model out, so visit our review of the Lidl Silvercrest air fryer to find out if it’s worth buying.
